King's Quest XXXXVIII: Quest for Disk Space is the 48th game in the King's Quest series.

Background[]

Introduced as an easter egg found in another sierra game, Space Quest IV, satirizing the King's Quest series, and the continuing need for more disk space as technology developed.

Said to be created by Sierra, it was available at Software Excess for 61 buckazoids. Software Excess is a video game store at the Galaxy Gallaria, a large mall in the Space Quest universe.

According to The Official Guide to Roger Wilco's Space Adventures, Roger noted when he saw the copy... "King's Quest XXXXVIII-oh gee, give it up, Sierra. Give that poor old king a rest."
